I'm like a bunch of college guys who got together and said, 'Let's make a dude, a crazy dude'. |
I'm not going to pull any punches, I'm not surprised by this, I expected it. I told the players that all week. We deserve to be in this situation (5-0 on the season, and tied for first place with Joliet Catholic in the East Suburban Catholic Conference). We showed talent and focus both on defense and offense tonight. |
We are not surprised. We deserve to be here, and our kids played like that. |
We have a mix of new and veteran kids on our defensive unit, and they held them to one score and 198 total yards, including only 68 passing. That was most satisfying. It's much easier to win games with defense than by trying to outscore somebody. |
We've been working toward a defense that is more aggressive and gets after people, and some of that showed in this game. It was a pleasant surprise, since season-opening games are so unpredictable. |
When I was in high school, I ran hurdles, but I was really short, so I'd barely clear them. I was pretty quick, but I had little legs, so I had to take 50 steps in between each hurdle. |
You never feel good about how you're going to stop them. They have a good offense and no one has stopped them yet. |
